She had long, beautiful hair, almost 3 hours from boise going into the desert, I knew her story. When we got on site, she had already clipped her long hair into short hair with a fingernail clipper. More stories to follow. I am sure this post will likely be deleted, I assure you that is one of many true stories about SUWS

    I was 13 when I went to one of those "wilderness camps" I was in a group of 9-14 year olds at Trails Carolina. I experienced some shit there that haunts me to this day at 19 years old. I am currently a student at Baylor University and have succeeded in spite of my trauma. There are some thing s those wilderness camps dont want people to know as they would get shut down, like many already have. At Trails, I was strip searched at thirteen told nothing about what was happening to me, and slept in a trash bag under a tarp in the woods of the rocky mountains. We got a cup of beans a day, pooed and peed in one big hole, walked for miles up mountains a day with backpacks the same weight as the nine/ten year olds. One girl would pass out every day due to hyperventilation due to panic attacks, AND EXHAUSTION. My face was covered in sores and bug bites and the counselors would not send pic updates of me to my parents due to this. On my fifteenth birthday I spent there two girls ran off into the woods, we realized we all had pin worms due to improper sanitization and one girl tried to cut her wrists with rocks. THESE ARE little girls bounced from program to program because the get trauma after trauma and so they have behavioral issues naturally, and their parents have some money and dont want to deal with them. I have nightmares every other night even at 19 due to what I saw there at 14/15. If you are a parent FUCKING think before you do shit like that. Yes, I misbehaved and I snuck alchohol once when i was 15, but did any of us deserve what we saw there? no.

    It sounds like you had a very introspective experience for the most part which is good. My parents sent my sister to wilderness when she was 16 and I was 12. She was abused mentally, physically, experienced SA and so many awful degrading things. She went to therapeutic boarding school after and her therapist there told our parents about what happened. Thankfully her therapist at the school was actually helpful and believed victims of abuse… because I feel like so many “troubled” teens voice their experience and get ignored or called liars. My moms an attorney and ended up suing the program and uncovering all kinds of horrendous things - she still hasn’t shared it all with us, and I’m 26 now. My sister hasn’t been the same since. I

Actually I’d just refuse to hike (I heard they wouldn’t give you food if you refused) then wouldn’t eat and I’d probably end up in the hospital from lack of food

    You're not alone in your trauma.
    I was taken and forced into wildness training in Capital Reef National Park in Southern Utah with the Aspen Achievement Academy in April of 1991.
    Although I can now see that there are examples of positive impactfrom this training, mine was used more as a way for my parents to "throw money at the problem" and remove themselves from accountability for our family's problems.
    In later years, my mother has expressed shame and embarrassment for "going along" with my father's idea for sending me there.
    In the end, their decision ended up cementing my reputation in my small community as a "troublemaker."
    Time heals. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm currently studying adventure therapy at school because wilderness has been my way of healing and seeing this video was so helpful to understand how people experience programs like the one you went to. I was wondering if there was anything about the experience you think would have worked better if done differently? Such as getting gooned or how the therapy was paced?

    @tonyscott5233 2 года назад +1

    I went through the same process, but I went from Idaho to Second Nature in Utah. The worst part of these programs and this way of 'treatment' is the amount of effort they put into turning your parents against you and you find out sooner or later that the way out is to commit to the program and have a day by day 'epiphany' until you are a perfect clone and you can go to the next place. You went to a very nice program, this is the exception not the norm, think hard before you make the decision to send anyone you care about to a wilderness program. Staff is only medical trained. Good for you though Julia, you are so far ahead of anyone else your age that hasn't been forced to grow as fast as you have, I have all sorts of things I want to write about and so many things I wish I would have been humble enough to learn from other peoples mistakes and stories just dont do drugs! hope all the best and that you never have to check in, look at cold B&R, crush coals, or look forward to P-time with BS torts and summ-sauce again ha

    Maybe this needs a trigger warning idk: When I was 11, I went to a php for the first time. It was literally traumatic. They made people eat out of toilets. Then when that didn’t work, they sent me to a hospital (that later got shut down for not meeting government regulations) and they didn’t clean it so there was snot on the walls and spiders in the corners and it was so bad. Then they shipped me off to Wisconsin after my heart almost stopped from anorexia. So then I got a feeding tube stuck down my throat while I was crying my eyes out telling them to stop. Then I got sent to residential, and that place was kinda good except for the fact that the therapists hated me because I never listened to them and I just started eating random stuff like plastic and shit just to show them they couldn’t control me so that wasn’t good. Then I went to 3 other phps and they were fine so ya. I’m doing better now

    Julia have you ever thought about going back to Blue Fire as a staff? I worked for a company as a guide and let me just say some of are best guides were students who were there as clients. You have a lot to offer!
    FYI. Seriously well done on your journey I don't know you but im so proud of you. Just thinking of all the hundreds of students I have worked with and am just smiling on this side of the computer screen. All your staff out there good or not so good are out there for you and care even as mean or condescending as they might have come across. Just a good reminder you never outgrow growth. I went through my darkest years being a wilderness guide and that did not make me the best staff out there sometimes and it makes me sad that I couldn't have been more attentive to my team but I will tell you my lack of perfection and shortcomings had nothing to do with my lack of compassion and love for the people that I served. Its a taxing hard job and the most rewarding I have ever had and probably will have.
    I challenge you to think about becoming a staff. Get your wilderness first responder and dedicate a year or so to give back. I didn't have much of a story to relate to with my team but holy smokes you do!

    The difference between that guy that's telling us it's different now is he's getting paid big bucks to be out there for a few days a week.. And we had to stay out there 24/7 and build cabins for the staff members while we still selpt in tents with bags...

    I went to SUWS Idaho wilderness program back on 1993. It was hardcore. No campus. Dropped off in middle of nowhere. We had to make our own home made back packs made out of a tarp and two wool blankets. Inside were our sweater, socks underwear, food shovel and other tools. We had small straps that dug into our shoulders. It was hell. We ate plain oatmeal in the morning and at night in was plain lentils and rice. We basically hiked from one water spot to another for 30 days. No tents. Dirty hot water we carried in 4 big canteens treated with iodine. We wore the same clothes the whole time. No showers. No nothing. We ate rattle snake a couple times. We also had to do a 3 day solo. It was hot as hell in August. Only thing I got out of it was I know how to make a bow and drill to make fire out of almost anything. I hated every minute of it but glad I did it. I’ll never forget the last day we went out for breakfast before they took us to the airport. We ordered pretty much everything off the menu.

    i was sent to second nature wilderness “family therapy”. i was sent to utah for 4 months, my summer was taken away and i was with random teenagers and a few adults for 4 months…. i went because i broke probation i was court mandated, it sucked… but you also grow close to the people you’re with out there. that’s my family, i love those dudes, i don’t know where all of them are now, i’m pretty sure my two best friends from there are dead now, but still praying they aren’t. I took it as an opportunity, i couldn’t leave, couldn’t run, i was stuck, so i just committed to therapy. i worked on myself and now i’m back home. i miss it sometimes, because now that i’m home i’m right back to the dumb shit i was doing.

I got hospitalized for punching holes in walls from being alcoholic with PTSD then went from there with escorts to Utah. Beautiful place. Didn't like going there but I liked it there. Its the only time I haven't smoked weed for 3 months since I started. As soon as I got back I told my friend "Cigarettes plus weed equals need". The roof leaked.

I looked up a kid that got out that lived right up the road and he came a picked us all up... We ran away in our underwear.. Made it look like we were kidnapped in the middle of the night.. We stayed with Mike for a week then some of his friends took us to Nashville and we ate out of a dumpster for a little over a month... Then I called my Granny and she sent my mom to get me... My mom didn't even recognize me... I was so dirty and skinny... I hid from the police for 5 months and they gave up looking for me... Never did know what happened to the other 2 kids... I offten wonder and think if I should have left them at all... Makes me sad often...

  • @JorgeTorres-li7lm

    I got sent away to a light therapeutic boarding school in Massachussets when I was 10 for 3 years. Barely knew how to speak English. Came back, had a rough time at school, got bullied a lot, was depressed, anxious and struggled to make fiends so my parents one day told me they were taking me on a vacation to Oregon, by that time I was doing a bit better socially in school. When we got to Oregon I thought we were going to Portland and I was going to get to see the trailblazers, they told me first we had to make a stop for I don’t remember why on bend Oregon. Got to this base cabin and when I got there I remember the worst day of my life: the staff introduced me to the program and what it is and I ask when does this start and they tell me we know this is going to be hard but you start right now. One of the hardest moments of my life, was at second nature bend Oregon for 90 days, then got sent to summit prep in Montana for around 18 months. When I went back to Mexico my parents proceeded to enroll me in the same school where I was bullied before I left and made no real effort to find me an alternative school. I’m 28 now and I don’t think I’ll ever get over this experience in my life. My parents get angry every time I mention the schools to them, but for me I feel like I have forgave them, but I can’t forget.
    Note: only reason transporters didn’t come to get me is because it was illegal in Mexico for them to do this, instead my parents who thought me never to lie tricked me.

    I got "kidnapped" 3 different times and was in programs for 3 years I left my first wilderness program and started struggling with suicidal ideation I would literally get in restraints every day and it very quickly got dangerous because it got too the point where I was attempting to take my life 3 times a week and was self harming. after 10 months I woke up to "gooners/transporters" That was my second time getting gooned and it was still just as traumatizing. I then went to Trails carolina which just closed down because a kid died I got very close to taking my life there so they kicked me out and drove me to a hospital in the middle of the night. I was waiting to get into an in-patient lockdown unit and i got in after a week of waiting in bed. during my 2 weeks in the hospital I continued to self harm and was constantly put into "the quiet room" which was a white room. I went back to my boarding school to finish up my stay there and just graduated about 6 months ago. My boarding school is called Maple Hall Academy and it is now shut down.
